      I guess the same reason we go to coffee shops instead of just making it at home. Plus, early on, they were still rationing replicator usage, but this is from season 5 after they mostly abandoned that. In this one, though, all but a few of the replicators are down because of the subspace sandbar they were stuck in.

        I know they were rationing the replicators, but that coffee came from somewhere, whether it’s the replicator in the galley, or the replicator in her quarters. I did not remember that they were broken in this episode.

          Early on, Neelix was making some things similar to coffee, and I guess they foraged it from a planet. One of those coffee-like concoctions was chunky / goopy. I think a couple of times later in the series they differentiate between “coffee” and “Neelix’s coffee” so I guess he got better at it or the crew developed a taste for it.

      It’s a few doors down on the same deck. Folks like taking breaks and a change of scenery. The few times she really did want to hold up in her office she definitely had the capacity to hide away in there.

      Doesn’t she actually explain that in uh… The one where they’re in the void, I think? I think the meme image is even from the scene I am thinking of. She’s in the galley at like 3am or something because she couldn’t sleep and just wanted to walk around. Ended up there having coffee and looking out the windows. She mentions that she does it often.

      *galley

      I would only expect Galaxy-class ships to have onboard art galleries.
